What was the best sporting event you've ever seen?

[nyplayer33]

to be honest I think the following sports were more exciting in the 80's and 90's....boxing,tennis,hockey,football,co llege football....i felt the bjorg,mcenroe,connors,lendl tennis was way more exciting then the current game.

I was at the smoke filled, old Chicago Stadium on May 12, 1959 with my dad, sitting about 4 or 5 rows back from ringside, for the Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions. My dad had 20 pro heavyweight fights during the Great Depression years. So he was well connected in getting good seats to a lot of fights in Chicago.

That particular night a 17 year old kid from Louisville Ky won the light heavyweight crown. My dad told me this kid named Cassius Marcellus Clay would be "a kid to watch someday".

I saw Larry Johnsons late 4 point play at the Garden live and still think it was one of the best basketball moments in a playoff game...

2006 World Cup Germany, Argentina vs. Germany quarterfinal, as well as the semi final Italy vs. Germany were the best world cup games in the past 30 years.

Also the Redsox game 4 comeback vs Yanks, and Canada winning double gold in the Atlanta Olympics vs a super strong US team, that was awesome, we won the 100m gold too, haha.
